Idea:

I learned this as a little girl, I don't know how to describe the tune but the words are:
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Blast off!
Refrain
Off we go into outer space
Off we go at a zipping pace,
Rockets are ready,
all things are steady.
Off to visit the moon.

Space ship, Space ship, passing the stars in the sky, gleaming brightly see the comets go by.
Refrain

This is a song that can be used with 3-5 year olds. It can be "piggy-backed" to many different tunes...whatever is your preference.

Going to the Moon

(Do movements like you are sitting down) Get in the spaceship we're going to the moon, going to the moon, going to the moon.
Get in the spaceship we're going to the moon. Let's countdown right now. 5-4-3-2-1 BLAST OFF! (When the group says "Blast off" jump out of the chair with arms outstretched)

(Stretch your arms out like you're flying) Get in the spaceship we're flying to the moon, flying to the moon, flying to the moon.
Get in the spaceship we're flying to the moon. Let's countdown right now. 5-4-3-2-1...BLAST OFF!

(Walk around with very tall, exaggerated steps) Get out of the spaceship we're walking on the moon, walking on the moon, walking on the moon.
Get out of the spaceship we're walking on the moon. Let's countdown right now. 5-4-3-2-1...BLAST OFF!

(Do movements like you are very sleepy and ready to get back home) Get in the spaceship we're going back home, going back home, going back home. Get in the spaceship we're going back home. Let's countdown right now. 5-4-3-2-1...BLAST OFF!

This is a great song I made up to the tune of "There are seven days in the week"

There are nine planets, there are nine planets, there are nine planets in space. 
There are nine planets, there are nine planets, there are nine planet in space. 
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, 
Neptune and Pluto are the planets, are the planets in space.

Well, the sun's a hot star... Mercury's hot too. 
Venus is the brightest planet... Earth's home to me and you. 
Mars is the red one. Jupiter's most wide. 
Saturn's got those icy ring's, and Uranus spins on its side. 
Neptune's really windy, and Pluto's really small. 
Well, you wanted to name the planets, and now you've named them all!

A song about the planets to the tune of "Hambone, Hambone, where've you been?" 1. All the planets one by one, they go rolling 'round the sun. 2. Jupiter, Pluto and the earth...spin and whirl for all they're worth. 3. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Mars, orbit 'round between the stars. 4. Mercury, Venus, Earth in line, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn--wait! There's nine! 5. Uranus and Neptune orbit with the rest. Last is Pluto...which one's best? 6. Moons and rings and fire and ice: studying planets sure is nice. 7. Planets travel all through time; planets all move in a line. 8. Mercury, Venus, and Earth: we study them for all they're worth. 9. We study planets in our school, 'cause we think planets are really cool. 10. Earth and Pluto and Neptune...go around and end our tune.

Tune: The Ants Go Marching

Verse 1: The planets revolve around the sun. Hurrah! Hurrah! The planets revolve around the sun. Hurrah! Hurrah! The planets revolve around the sun and spin on their axis everyone. And they all go spinning, around and around they go.

Verse 2: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Hurrah! Hurrah! Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Hurrah! Hurrah! Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are whirling and twirling around the sun. And they all go spinning, around and around they go.

Verse 3: Jupiter, Saturn are next in line. Hurrah! Hurrah! Jupiter, Saturn are next in line. Hurrah! Hurrah! Jupiter, Saturn are next in line. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto make nine. And they all go spinning, around and around they go.

When we sing this song, we put a yellow ball to resemble the sun in the middle of our circle. We walk around the circle as we sing and spin in place to demonstrate how they planets spin on their axis.
